Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur de Montrouge
Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur de Montrouge, Brutalist church in Montrouge, France
The Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur church features a concrete structure spanning 57 meters in length, with a 20-meter ceiling height and 13-meter-wide nave.
The current building replaced a 14th-century church, with construction taking place between 1934 and 1940 under architect Eric Bagge's direction.
Between 1947 and 1949, artists from Montparnasse workshops created frescoes depicting Saint Jacques's life throughout the interior spaces.
The church underwent extensive renovations from 2013 to 2017, requiring an investment of 8 million euros to restore its structure and facilities.
In 1885, the Bishop of Paris designated this church as an alternative pilgrimage site for those unable to travel to Compostela.
